I'm currently using mGSD to manage my tasks. Recently tried TW5. I think,
it's awesome. Wanted to thank Jeremy for Tiddlywiki. <$list> and
<$checkbox> widgets available at TW5 are very handy to create task lists by
project/context/contact. The TW5 ability to manipulate and customize
tiddler fields is a great addition. I was able to create <$list> of tasks
sorted by custom fields such as "start", "due", or "priority". I also love
the minimalism of the interface.
Couple of questions about TW5 features for which I could not find
documentation. I'm thinking of implementing recurring tasks in TW5. I
envision using tags "recurring" and "weekly"/"daily"/"monthly", etc. and
use fields such as "start", "modified", etc. So, my questions are:
- Is it possible to set <$list> filter to select tiddlers using
comparisons? E.g. select tiddlers with "start" date before "now" to make
tasks appear on the list at certain date/time? Perhaps, it's possible to
do it in a similar fashion as mGSD handles ticklers, but I thought, <$list>
widget might offer a much simpler way.
- Is it possible to set <$list> filter to select tiddlers with
tags/titles matching a regular expression?
- Is it possible to have <$checkbox> widget do more than assign a tag to
a tiddler? E.g. Can it increment the "start" date field by 7 days?
- Are tiddler fields always treated as text or is it possible to set a
field type (e.g. date, integer, etc.).
- Is it possible to create contextual tiddler templates? E.g.
- when a tiddler is tagged as "project", the tiddler view would
automatically show lists of tasks or
- when a tiddler is tagged as "context", the tiddler view would
automatically show a list of tasks orgainzed differently, etc.
(similar behavior as in mGSD, only I would expect a more transparent
and customizeable syntax with <$list> and <$view>. In mGSD, it's done
through macros which are hard to find and difficult to customize.)
- Would be nice to have an easy way to create a tiddler with a certain
template (e.g. create buttons with custom functionality). I have a feeling
that buttons are already implemented, but not documented. Is it true?
Finally, I may be reinventing the wheel. Is there a GTD implementation
based on TW5? Even if there is, I, probably, would want to customize a few
things. So, I still would like to know the answers.
Thanks again to all Tidlywiki developers. It's an awesome tool for many
things. I have not seen so much functionality packed in ~600K of code.
